To SWOT or to SOAR?

Sometimes an oldie can still be a goodie.

The SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) is a straightforward and useful tool

for examining the current state of a program, organization or community. If that doesn't seem to be a fit, try a SOAR Analysis instead (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results). SOAR is more about addressing the potential of an organization or community. Download both the SWOT and the SOAR worksheets at this link.
